Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Outside the Yu Hua Mountain Gate, the scene was bustling with activity.

The breakthrough of the Sword Master Old Sheep had sparked a fire of excitement around the Sword Sea and Yu Hua Mountain Gate, attracting more people than ever before. However, passing through the Sword Sea required not only talent but also a strong mind and willpower, all of which were essential to succeed. Only a few could make it.

The mysterious nature of the Sword Sea had spread far and wide, reaching the ears of the Supreme Taoist Sect and the Wen Family.

The Supreme Taoist Sect.

For the past few days, the atmosphere within the Supreme Taoist Sect had been tense and silent. There were no longer the usual sounds of laughter and merriment. Everyone was quietly cultivating, speaking in hushed tones, and speculating on how the Sect Leader and Elders would take revenge on Yu Hua Mountain Gate.

Everyone knew that the Supreme Taoist Sect was notorious for its grudges, and that Yu Hua Mountain Gate had long been suppressed by them. At its lowest point, it had been reduced to a small group of members, almost wiped out completely. No one had expected that these few members of Yu Hua Mountain Gate would rise from the ashes and strike back at the Supreme Taoist Sect in such a glorious manner, severely embarrassing them.

Now, everyone was waiting to see how the Supreme Taoist Sect would react to the rapidly growing Yu Hua Mountain Gate. Yet, the Supreme Taoist Sect had remained silent, which confused everyone, even its own members, who felt something was off.

Behind closed doors, however, the higher-ups of the Supreme Taoist Sect had been embroiled in intense debates.

Recently, the more radical Elders had repeatedly approached the Sect Leader, angrily demanding that they should act immediately and eradicate Yu Hua Mountain Gate once and for all. Over half of the Elders supported this view. However, all their proposals were blocked by the Sect Leader.

He calmly stated, "The Supreme Taoist Ancestor is about to leave his retreat. He has heard about the situation with Yu Hua Mountain Gate and will personally handle it. No more arguing."

When the Elders heard that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor was about to leave his retreat, they fell silent, eagerly anticipating his return to wipe out Yu Hua Mountain Gate.

The waiting days were long, especially since every day brought more news about Yu Hua Mountain Gate's rise. When the Elders heard that the Sword Master Old Sheep had used the Sword Sea to break through the Ninth Forbidden Realm and joined Yu Hua Mountain Gate, some could no longer contain themselves and rushed to the Sect Leader.

At the Sect Leader's Hall.

More than a dozen Elders arrived in unison, and upon seeing the Sect Leader calmly drinking tea, they immediately addressed him in a serious tone, "Sect Leader, are you aware of the current situation with Yu Hua Mountain Gate?"

The Sect Leader nodded.

"Since you are aware, how can you still drink tea?"

"Old Sheep has broken through to the Ninth Forbidden Realm and joined Yu Hua Mountain Gate. Now, they have three Ninth Forbidden Realm experts, almost matching our own strength at the Supreme Taoist Sect!"

One Elder spoke urgently.

"You previously mentioned that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor would leave his retreat, but Yu Hua Mountain Gate is growing stronger by the day. We must act now, or we might be left waiting for the Ancestor for an indeterminate amount of time."

"Indeed, Sect Leader, we cannot afford to sit idly by. The Supreme Taoist Sect has never been so humiliated. If we don't teach Yu Hua Mountain Gate a lesson, they will think they are invincible. The Ninth Forbidden Realm is nothing. Let's bring the Supreme Taoist Ancestor out of retreat. We cannot wait any longer."

The Elders pleaded earnestly, their frustration evident. They were deeply envious of Yu Hua Mountain Gate's growing strength.

"Enough! Stop arguing. The Ancestor has emerged from his retreat!"

At that moment, a deep, resonant voice echoed through the Sect Leader's Hall.

The Elders were startled and turned around in surprise to see four elderly figures in white robes standing at the entrance of the hall. Their ethereal presence immediately invigorated everyone.

"It's the Supreme Taoist Ancestors!"

"Three hundred years ago, these four Ancestors reached the Ninth Forbidden Realm and have been in seclusion ever since. Today, they have finally emerged."

"Greetings, Ancestors!"

The once angry Elders now eagerly knelt to greet the four Supreme Taoist Ancestors. Meanwhile, the Sect Leader, who had been quietly sipping tea, stood up with a smile and said, "With the Ancestors back, Yu Hua Mountain Gate is no longer a concern. Why should we worry?"

The Elders, who had been pressuring the Sect Leader, immediately quieted down, their faces now filled with smiles as they welcomed the Ancestors to sit.

The four Ancestors sat down in turn and sipped the tea brewed by the Sect Leader.

"Who would have thought that after being suppressed to such an extent, Yu Hua Mountain Gate could rise again. They certainly have some determination."

"A dying worm can still twitch, and they must have some secret. This time, we'll go and eliminate them completely. Whatever secrets they have, we'll bring them back."

"Yu Hua Mountain Gate is nothing to worry about."

"They dare offend the Supreme Taoist Sect? Let them know what cruelty really means."

The four Ancestors all shared similar opinions, dismissing Yu Hua Mountain Gate as insignificant.

The Sect Leader spoke carefully, "Ancestors, there are now three Ninth Forbidden Realm experts within Yu Hua Mountain Gate..."

Before he could finish, one Ancestor waved his hand and sneered, "The Ninth Forbidden Realm is not all the same. We have immersed ourselves in the Ninth Forbidden Realm for so many years; how can a few newcomers compare to us?"

"Stay here and wait. We'll go and destroy Yu Hua Mountain Gate now. You can clean up the mess afterward."

"Once we've killed their three Ninth Forbidden Realm experts, we'll come back and drink tea at our leisure."

The Sect Leader and the Elders were overjoyed.

Boom!

The four Ancestors transformed into rainbows and sped toward Yu Hua Mountain Gate, their overwhelming power unmistakable.

In their minds, they did not consider the three Ninth Forbidden Realm experts of Yu Hua Mountain Gate to be a real threat. After spending so many years in the Ninth Forbidden Realm themselves, they knew well that the difference in strength could be vast, even among those in the same realm.

Killing someone just entering the Ninth Forbidden Realm was as easy as an Eighth Forbidden Realm expert defeating someone at the Seventh Forbidden Realm.

The four rainbows cut through mountains and rivers, heading straight for Yu Hua Mountain Gate. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the mountain gate.

"Yu Hua Mountain Gate's Ninth Forbidden Realm experts, come out and die!" one of the Ancestors bellowed, their killing intent boiling as a blast echoed above the gate.

Countless people were startled.

Looking up, they saw four massive rainbow lights descending like shooting stars, shaking the very heavens with their might.

"What is that?"

"Those are Ninth Forbidden Realm experts!"

"Four of them?"

"This is terrifying!"

"They're coming for Yu Hua Mountain Gate's Ninth Forbidden Realm experts."

"It must be the Supreme Taoist Sect. Their revenge has finally come."

The people near Yu Hua Mountain Gate began discussing in hushed tones, eyes filled with fear. Could Yu Hua Mountain Gate really withstand this attack?

White Cloud and Old Sheep noticed the danger first. They exchanged a glance, their faces grave.

"They're Ninth Forbidden Realm experts," Sword Master Old Sheep said.

"We're no match for them," White Cloud said with a somber expression.

"What should we do?" Old Sheep frowned, asking.

"Let's go find Senior Brother!" White Cloud responded without hesitation, rushing towards the Scripture Pavilion.

Whenever there was an unbeatable situation or an insurmountable problem, Senior Brother was always their solid backup.
